Study On The Endogenous Motivation Of Villagers’ Participation In Grass-roots Governance Under The Background Of Rural Revitalization

Since the 19 th National Congress report put forward the strategy of rural revitalization,at the request of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council,governments at all levels,especially at the grass-roots level,have placed rural revitalization at the top of their priorities,starting with the five major revitalizations and embarking on a drastic road of rural reform and development.But in the process of development,we gradually realize that the government-led development always plays the role as external forces.The key to village’s revitalization is the people.The biggest characteristic of rural reform and development is to adhere to farmers’ status of the subject and to give full play to them,whether it is poverty alleviation,human settlements environment,rural construction or strategies of rural revitalization promotion.Only by giving full play to the subjectivity of farmers,stimulating the endogenous power of villagers can they actively participate in rural revitalization and grass-roots governance,sincerely put themselves into the construction and the development of rural areas,thus improving the ability to build rural areas,achieving the combined development by internal and external forces and truly realizing the goal of rural revitalization.The author has long worked in the rural areas,who,in the process of collecting the practical experience of the villagers participating in the endogenous power of grass-roots governance in Heliu Town,found that although such village as Niu tengyu had a better performance,most villages still had the problem of insufficient endogenous motivation for villagers’ grass-roots governance participation.Through a careful reading of literatures and with the current rural reality in mind,the author made an in-depth analysis of the concepts and theories needed,such as villagers’ participation,grass-roots governance,endogenous motivation,participatory governance theory,consultative democracy theory.The forms and contents of current villagers’ participating in grass-roots governance of Heliu town were examined,and so were the typical problems that still exist among the villagers’ participation,such as: the wish to participate in grass-roots governance being not strong,participation in formalization,participation in small scope,participation in polarization.Through literature reading and with practical experience,the author carefully found out the causes of these problems,namely,the influence of traditional society and Confucianism,inadequate development of rural economy and society,imperfection of institutional protection and the being of omnipotent government,causing the villagers’ misunderstanding of the main body of the grass-roots governance and leading to villagers’ insufficient endogenous motivation to participate in grass-roots governance.In view of these problems,the author reading a large number of literature,absorbing the experience of grass-roots democracy in foreign countries such as Germany,the United States and China’s advanced regions such as Wenling,Chengdu and other regions,put forward a series of strategies to enhance villagers’ participation in grassroots governance.Innovate working mechanisms and optimize villagers’ participation environment,such as perfecting the law,strengthening institutional guarantees,improving participation mechanisms,enhancing grass-roots democracy,strengthening Party leadership,strengthening government guidance;Improve the rural environment and build a solid foundation for villagers’ participation,such as vigorously developing emerging industries,accelerating rural economic development,diversifying farmers’ employment forms,increasing farmers’ income,strengthening talent cultivation and improving the overall quality of villagers;Strengthen villagers’ subject consciousness,improve the enthusiasm of the masses,such as strengthening education of subject consciousness,improving the villagers’ democratic concept,strengthening the quality of service,improving the masses’ sense of belonging;Encourage democratic system innovation and promote the development of democracy at the grassroots level,such as respecting practice and supporting democracy at the grassroots level,encouraging rural grass-roots democratic system innovation with many measures simultaneously.It is hoped that it will play a useful role in the current rural revitalization and the participation of villagers in grass-roots governance.
